On Friday (March 30) representatives for Reed issued a press release announcing the gathering which is intended to protest the alleged actions of rapper Tony Yayo of G-Unit.

Pamela Lipshitz of JLM Public Relations issued the following statement on behalf of Russell Simmons and the HSAN.Russell Simmons, Dr. Benjamin Chavis and the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network (HSAN) will not participate in the press conference being called for Monday, April 2nd, by Czar Entertainment and Cynthia Reed, mother of Jimmy Henchman’s son. HSAN is impartial and will not take sides in this dispute.
